  1. I was mistaken. There is a small hallway that leads to another, much smaller and weird additional casino. Overall I estimate Venezia casino a little bigger than Pride's
  2. MDR classier than the Carnival fleet, not as fun. But the roaming magician is fun.
  3. The hub is not working for MDR. I was assigned table 656, arrived early, ushered and it had a couple eating. Went back and was reassigned table 707, more people eating. The people in front and behind me had the same issue. Must not be too widespread because we're not planning a riot. Yet.
  4. First night MDR menu looks typical Carnival, with a few Italian additions...
  5. My steward is Aswar from the Pride Italy cruise last September. He's awesome, always smiling and trying to exceed expectations.
  6. 6th arrondissement, St Germain, Latin Quarter. 10 minute walk to HOHO pickup, Louvre, Musee D'Orsay and Notre Dame, 20 minute walk to Eiffel Tour. Price was great, great restaurants and a jazz club 1 and 2 blocks away. Bed and shower were good, very clean. Good cappuccino at cafe next door. Safe walking after midnight.
  7. Cruise Director has top-5-most-annoying potential. At the end of a very serious and long safety briefing he let out a shriek. Like a teenager who fakes the extra-long fake shriek at the end of a rollercoaster ride.
  8. Casino is small, maybe a little smaller than Pride's. If Mardi Gras casino is an envelope, Venezia casino is a postage stamp.
  9. Agreed. If you had chewy octopus something is wrong. Like calamari.
  10. Tomodoro, where Blue Iguana used to be, is just Blue Iguana with some Italian subs added. The burrito station looks the same, and the salsa bar and "tacos aqui" sign are unchanged. The chicken tacos are the same.
  11. Roast beef so hard and chewy I thought I might lose a filling.
  12. Well, the AMAZING FOOD pics couldn't last forever...
  13. As other recent cruisers have already said, paper fun times is back.
